Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ocean current measurement, in particular to a current measurement drifting bottle capable of preventing condensation of water. Background Art

[0002] Ocean current measurement is the measurement and study of the movement of water currents in the ocean. The water currents in the ocean are complex and diverse, and the flow rate and direction will change with time, space and ocean depth. The purpose of ocean current measurement is to understand the characteristics, distribution and change patterns of ocean currents, which is of great significance to many fields such as marine scientific research, navigation safety, fishery resource management, climate change research and marine engineering.

[0003] However, the existing ocean current-measuring bottles mainly obtain ocean current-related data by placing measurement sensors inside buoys. However, after the current-measuring bottle is dropped into the ocean, the temperature in the ocean changes greatly due to the alternation of day and night, different seasons, and different depths and latitudes. When the current-measuring bottle enters a colder environment from a warmer environment, the gas inside the current-measuring bottle will condense into water droplets, causing a circuit short circuit or equipment failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an anti-condensation current-measuring bottle, which can solve the problem that, when the existing ocean current-measuring bottle enters a colder environment from a warmer environment, the gas inside the current-measuring bottle will condense into water droplets, thereby causing circuit short circuit or equipment failure. The utility model can scrape off the water droplets inside the current-measuring bottle to prevent the water droplets from gathering and affecting the circuit equipment, and can also clean the flexible solar panel at the same time, thereby preventing a large amount of impurities from accumulating on the flexible solar panel.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a condensation-proof current measuring drift bottle, comprising a drift bottle body, a soft solar panel is fixedly connected to the interior of the drift bottle body, a solar cell is arranged on one side of the soft solar panel, a DO sensor is fixedly installed inside the drift bottle body, and a DTU collector is connected to the exterior of the drift bottle body;

[0006] A wiper assembly is arranged between the drift bottle body and the flexible solar panel, and the wiper assembly is used to scrape off condensed water. A fixed block is fixedly connected inside the drift bottle body, and the fixed block is connected to a collecting assembly, and the collecting assembly is used to collect impurities.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, after the drift bottle body is thrown into the ocean, when sunlight shines on the soft solar panel, the solar cell converts light energy into electrical energy to power the circuit inside the drift bottle body. The DO sensor can measure the dissolved oxygen content in the ocean, and the DTU collector can collect data from the DO sensor, and the collected data can be transmitted to a designated server or data center through a wireless network to achieve remote data transmission. The drift bottle body can be made by processing and modifying recycled bottles, which is conducive to the promotion of the environmental protection concept of reuse through flow-measuring drift bottles.

[0008] Furthermore, the wiper assembly includes a rotating shaft and a scraper rod. The scraper rod is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the scraper rod and the rotating shaft are connected in a fixed manner.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the scraper assembly can be used to scrape off the water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the drift bottle body, so as to prevent the water droplets from gathering and affecting the circuit equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the scraper rod is greater than the height of the flexible solar panel, and the diameter of the scraper rod is greater than the distance between the drift bottle body and the flexible solar panel.

[0011] Through the above technical scheme, the scraper is made of a flexible water-absorbing material, which makes it easy for the scraper to be stuck between the drift bottle body and the soft solar panel during movement, and fit tightly with the inner wall of the drift bottle body and the outer surface of the soft solar panel respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of scraping off water droplets and cleaning the soft solar panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, the other end of the rotating rod is connected to a micro motor, the micro motor is fixedly connected to a supporting shaft, and the supporting shaft is fixedly connected to the drift bottle body.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the support shaft is used to support the micro motor. After the micro motor is started, it can drive the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod drives the scraper rod to move through the rotating shaft, thereby performing scraping and cleaning work.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating rod is in a "Z"-shaped structure, and the rotating rod spans across the upper end of the flexible solar panel.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, since the rotating rod is in a "Z"-shaped structure, it can be avoided that the rotating rod collides with other structures inside the drift bottle body during the rotation process.

[0016] Furthermore, a gear is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and a rack is meshingly connected to one side of the gear, and the rack is an arc-shaped strip structure.

[0017] With the above technical solution, since the gear is meshed with the rack, the gear will rotate under the action of the rack during the movement, so that the rotating shaft connected to the gear will rotate while rotating.

[0018] Furthermore, the collecting component includes an adsorption patch, and the adsorption patch is connected to the fixing block by adhesive connection.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the adsorption sticker can be used to adsorb the dust shaken off the scraper, thereby reducing the flying of dust and impurities inside the drift bottle body.

[0020] Furthermore, a spring is connected inside the fixing block, the other end of the spring is connected to a slide plate, and one side of the slide plate has protrusions distributed at equal distances.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the slide plate forms a telescopic structure inside the fixed block through the spring, and the slide plate drives the protrusion to continuously extend and retract to knock the scraper rod, so as to facilitate shaking off the dust and impurities adhered to the outer surface of the scraper rod.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a flow-measuring drift bottle for preventing condensation of water, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] In the utility model, when the drift bottle body enters a colder environment from a warmer environment, the gas inside the drift bottle body will condense into water droplets, and the sensor inside the drift bottle body will detect this change, and control the operation of the micro motor through the control system, so that the scraper connected to the rotating shaft can perform a circular motion while rotating. During the movement, the scraper can be stuck between the drift bottle body and the soft solar panel, and fit tightly with the inner wall of the drift bottle body and the outer surface of the soft solar panel respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of scraping off the water droplets and cleaning the soft solar panel.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a flow-measuring drift bottle for preventing condensation, comprising a drift bottle body 1, a soft solar panel 2 is fixedly connected inside the drift bottle body 1, a solar cell 5 is arranged on one side of the soft solar panel 2, a DO sensor 3 is fixedly installed inside the drift bottle body 1, and a DTU collector 4 is connected outside the drift bottle body 1;

[0033] It is worth mentioning that: after the drift bottle body 1 is thrown into the ocean, when sunlight shines on the soft solar panel 2, the solar cell 5 converts light energy into electrical energy to power the circuit inside the drift bottle body 1, and the DO sensor 3 can measure the dissolved oxygen content in the ocean, and the DTU collector 4 can collect data from the DO sensor 3, and the collected data can be transmitted to a designated server or data center through a wireless network to realize remote data transmission, and the drift bottle body 1 can be made by processing and modifying recycled bottles, which is conducive to the promotion of the environmental protection concept of reuse through flow-measuring drift bottles.

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A wiper assembly is provided between the drift bottle body 1 and the flexible solar panel 2. The wiper assembly is used to scrape off condensed water. The wiper assembly includes a rotating shaft 9 and a scraper rod 10. The scraper rod 10 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9. The scraper rod 10 is connected to the rotating shaft 9 in a fixed manner. The height of the scraper rod 10 is greater than the height of the flexible solar panel 2. The diameter of the scraper rod 10 is greater than the distance between the drift bottle body 1 and the flexible solar panel 2. The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 8. The other end of the rotating rod 8 is connected to a micro motor 7. The micro motor 7 is fixedly connected to a support shaft 6. The support shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the drift bottle body 1. The rotating rod 8 spans the upper end of the flexible solar panel 2.

[0035] The principle of scraping off condensed water is: when the drift bottle body 1 enters a colder environment from a warmer environment, the gas inside the drift bottle body 1 will condense into water droplets, and the sensor inside the drift bottle body 1 will detect this change, and control the operation of the micro motor 7 through the control system. After the micro motor 7 is started, it can drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate, and the rotating rod 8 drives the scraper 10 to move through the rotating shaft 9. The scraper 10 will be stuck between the drift bottle body 1 and the flexible solar panel 2 during the turnover movement, and fit tightly with the inner wall of the drift bottle body 1 and the outer surface of the flexible solar panel 2 respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of scraping off the water droplets and cleaning the flexible solar panel 2.

[0036] See also Figure 2-Figure 4 The upper end of the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected with a gear 11, and one side of the gear 11 is meshedly connected with a rack 12, and the rack 12 is an arc-shaped strip structure.

[0037] The function of the gear 11 and the rack 12 is that: since the gear 11 is meshingly connected with the rack 12, when the shaft 9 drives the gear 11 to perform a rotational motion, the gear 11 will rotate under the action of the rack 12, so that the shaft 9 connected to the gear 11 will rotate while performing a rotation, thereby improving the efficiency of the scraper 10 in scraping and cleaning.

[0038] See also Figure 2-Figure 6 A fixed block 13 is fixedly connected inside the drift bottle body 1, and the fixed block 13 is connected to a collecting component, which is used to collect impurities. The collecting component includes an adsorption patch 17, and the adsorption patch 17 is connected to the fixed block 13 by bonding. A spring 14 is connected inside the fixed block 13, and the other end of the spring 14 is connected to a slide plate 15, and bumps 16 are evenly distributed on one side of the slide plate 15;

[0039] The principle of collecting dust and impurities is: under normal conditions, the scraper rod 10 connected to the rotating shaft 9 will be stationary and stored on one side of the fixed block 13, and the drift bottle body 1 will keep shaking under the impact of the ocean current, so the slide plate 15 will extend and retract inside the fixed block 13 through the spring 14, and the slide plate 15 will drive the protrusion 16 to continuously extend and retract to knock the scraper rod 10, so that the dust and impurities adhered to the outer surface of the scraper rod 10 can be shaken off, and the adsorption sticker 17 can absorb the dust shaken off the scraper rod 10, thereby reducing the flying of dust and impurities inside the drift bottle body 1.
